A 36-year-old member asked:
is it possible to have gastric bypass surgery if you have hepatitis c?

Maybe: The hepatitis c itself won't be a barrier to this surgery. The question will be how much damage there is to the liver. People with cirrhosis are at higher risk for complications from any surgery, including bypass.
